December 8 promises to be a busy day in Aurora with a parade, Santa Claus and a circus.
Photos with Santa will take place from 11 a.m. to 1:45 p.m., when Santa must leave to ride in the parade. He and the camera will be located on the third floor of city hall. The photo is available for a donation to Main Street Aurora.
There will also be ornament and cookie decorating and a drawing for a girl’s and boy’s bike.
The parade starts at 2 p.m. The participants will line up at the corner Roosevelt Avenue and Pleasant Street. The parade will proceed east on Pleasant Street, turn north on Madison Avenue, turn west on Olive Street, turn south on Washington Avenue and turn west on Locust. It will disband near the old armory.
The circus offers two performances -- 3:30 and 7 p.m. -- in the gymnasium at Aurora Junior High School, 500 West Olive.
Advance tickets are $6 (for children two to 12 years of age) and $8. Tickets at the door are $8 (for children) and $12. Military people and seniors are $10 each.
Advance tickets are available at Regions Bank, Community National Bank, Aurora Area Chamber of Commerce and The Aurora Advertiser.
The Aurora Area Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring both the parade and the circus.
